Loyola SCPS accepts transfer credit earned from regionally accredited institutions. We can accept up to 64 credit hours across all two-year institutions (community colleges), and an unlimited number of credit hours from four-year universities. Students who have completed either an A.A., A.S., or General Education Core Curriculum will have met Loyola's Core Curriculum requirements, with the exception of mission-specific courses. Half of a student's major requirements can be satisfied with transfer credit. BA Management major has transfer credit policy unique to this major and students can review this policy and others in the Academic Catalog.

Loyola is a receiving institution in the Illinois Articulation Initiative program for awarding transfer credit. Students who have completed 30 or more transfer credits may follow either the Illinois General Education curriculum or the Loyola CORE requirements to satisfy general education requirements. Students with less than 30 will follow the CORE. We’ll advise you how to choose the most effective path for you. Just submit your transcripts. For more information, see itransfer.org.

Adult students, in particular, often have a reservoir of college-level learning gained through professional and personal accomplishments that they can use to earn non-traditional credit toward select SCPS programs. At SCPS, students may apply up to 36 non-traditional credit hours (CLEP, DSST, ACE) to the completion of their undergraduate degree.
